Ive been away from the game for a while and only just downloaded the huge 'rent a server' patch. The game is now unplayable online due to lag! did anyone else find that?

I never had lag before (100mb virgin media) but now I cant find any servers which I can play on....

Did manage to find a pistonheads one though biggrin so will give it a go when the issue is fixed. All other games work fine so it must be the game.

Annoying because there are now ultra long games to get stuck into smile
Not had many issues with lag really, though have to say I purchased the game and did the update well after the update was issued, so I have no idea what it was like before. However, I did get killed today by a man who was running on the spot with his back turned to me hahaha. Even on kill cam he continued to run on the spot facing the wrong way while my corpse laid on the floor behind him. Very difficult to kill some one like that as their body is essentially a dummy and you have no idea where they really are!

I had this at first after downloading but it fixed itself soon after.

93R is a good laugh though biggrin
I'd like to modify this statement a little bit. The 93R is hilarious hehe Just went MVP on a TDM round using it as my primary weapon, got a quarter of the team's total kills in 7 mins.

a few glichy things aside the previous issues I've had with hit registering seem to be occuring less and less a new controller has helped I think (?)

anyways I'm back to decent scoring and the m27IAR is back as my fave WOC.

I couldn't get onto co-op servers yesterday after 1 game - I need to complete the co-ops for more trophies.

PS on campaign - how on earth do you get a dog tag from the russians in the forest on Kaffarov???

Those on Xbox looking for a normal hardcore game my server is full maps and normal ticket count. I only ask that there is no spawn stroking (you can use the word raping in the description) search for Nobody likes ginger people.

If you want some help with the co-op missions, give me a shout (GT: cossieburn). I've done all of them so will be more than happy to help you out.

Edit: Just noticed your on PS3...Darn! biggrin

You can just keep doing one mission until you reach the points threshold for the unlocks. That's what I did (kept doing the heli one)

I keep checking in on the xbox PH server and finding nobody on, Kharg Island is a lonely place when on your own laugh Mind you I've been putting the empty server to good use and been practicing my heli flying, must gave racked up a couple of hours now, and plenty of deaths, but can mostly keep it in the air now and even shoot at things! Mind you it'll all come apart when there is enemy fire coming back at me.

I have applied to join the xbox clan, gamertag is spudmurphy19, if whoever moderates the clan wouldn't mind accepting me it'd be appreciated as it would be nice to game with people over the age of 13 and who actually ptfo!

Was anyone on xbox last night and have lots of server issues? I played for a couple of hours and got disconnected from servers half a dozen times at least, frustrating as heck!

Ta,

Al

Do you mean clan tag (PH before your name)? this is done through battlelog by editing your profile.

I've been on it a few times but as it is hardcore I don't stay very long. Shame really, a Core PH server would be a laugh.

Just flying a helicopter full of squad members on Noshir Canals, and crashed straight away wiping everyone out. Sorry guys - Just can't get the hang of these helicopters - having said that, when I got in it I was fully expecting to be a passenger and get someone else to do the flying :-)

Wasn't aware of nailing anyone on spawn, I just seem to keep running into groups of enemies that appeared out of nowhere!

You get a couple of seconds immunity when you spawn, but if you spawn in on a teammate who is capturing a flag, you have to realise that everyone knows that you're in that area (as the flag icon flashes on our maps), so expect a firefight as soon as you spawn!
